yeah, I praised him after his Preakeness, I sure did. But I sure didnt call him the greatest Tbred ever born or say he would be HOY. Thats what many on this thread seem to imply. That does not make me a hypocrite, rather it makes me a guy who doubts that this horse who is beating a bad group(although doing it nicely and fast and in style) of 3 Yo's is ready to tackle older horses who are battle hardened with serious motors.
You seem to take that personally. Thats too bad, its not meant to be personal.

I'm sorry for the miscommunication, Oracle. It's difficult over the internet to determine what is or is not personal. I personally think it's too early to judge Bernardini anything other than an extremely talented horse who may prove to be great; frankly, I have no desire to make such claims because I just want to enjoy him now. Greatness has to be proved on the track and I hope he does it. I do not wish to see this horse join a long list of racehorses who never fulfilled their potential. I think does have "great" potential. I'm not frustrated at those who think Bernardini has more to prove (which is true); I'm frustrated at those who want to denigrate his performances by the usual "who'd he beat" kind of thing. He beat some nice (ok, not great horses, obviously) in a manner that most overwhelming favorites do not do to their outmatched competition.
Again, I'm willing to move on and I apologize if I misinterpreted your comments
